Okay I'm running adware removers on my computer. I'm using Pestpatrol and SpyBot... but everytime I tell Spybot to immunize my computer from potentially harmful things Pestpatrol has a false alarm and undoes what Spybot has done... what do you think I should do... simply remove one maybe or do you think having both is a good idea?

Remove this "Pestpatrol" thing and put AdAware in its place.

This man speaks much truth.

My firewalls do that, sometimes. I have to close one of the two when trying to game, or they litterally kill eachother, and take away ALL protection I have.

Doesn't spybot do the same thing as Adaware though?

Per-se. It finds several things Spybot does not.

Sounds interesting... I was just using Pestpatrol cause it came with Zone Alarm Pro... but I might give this one a shot.

It overlaps with Ad-Aware, but they both work well in harmony, both catching things the other doesnt.
